Jimmy Kimmel’s offer became a flash point of cultural wars after the killing of the Maga Charlie Kerk influencer on September 10, when he was shot while speaking on a university campus in Utah. Kimmel made a comment that some explain that the host insists that the shooter was a supporter of Trump, although Kimmel said he was not what he meant.

But this comment sent a wave of disorganized anger on the Internet, and Board of Directors of the Federal Communications Committee Brendan Car has seized the opportunity on Benny Johnson to contact Kimmel’s comment “some of the most possible behavior.” Carr then continued to provide Mobster threats against the TV stations that Air Kimmel.

“Frankly, when you see things like this, I mean, we can do this in an easy way or these companies can find ways to change behavior … to take action, frankly, on a kimmel or there will be additional work for the Federal Communications Committee,” said Car.

Car’s comments clearly made bad faith, but they were very expected. President Trump celebrated the cancellation of Stephen Kulbert in CBS during the summer and explicitly said that Kimmel would be “the next”, along with Jimmy Fallon and Seith Maires in NBC.

Any opposition on TV is very opposed to Trump. The famous president with thin skin will continue to erode freedoms in the United States as long as he is still in power. The only question is what he tries to pull next to players like Kimmil from the air.
